A Collection of San Diego Style Mexican Food and Taco Shop Recipes

I’m passionate about making authentic Mexican food from tried-and-true recipes as well as new twists on the classics. Being from San Diego, I grew up on taco shop fare. Late night rolled tacos with guacamole and carne asada burritos. The Mexican food recipes on this website were born of my need to bring San Diego to my new home on the East Coast. You can get decent Mexican food here and there, but nothing like a taco shop in Southern California. So grab your favorite bottle of hot sauce, or better yet, make your own. Fry up some rolled tacos and sprinkle on some cheese and add a scoop of guac, crack open a corona, and dig in. Enjoy.
